Monday’s subway ride for home included a surprising stop for New Yorker Wendy Brown as she had to stop to help a woman in delivering a baby.

On Monday afternoon when Brown came at the train station, she found a crowd that had gathered around a pregnant woman laying at the floor.

“The first thought occurred in my mind was that she had fallen but soon I found she was getting contractions and was about to deliver a baby” Brown told. Francine Alfontent was with her hubby when she began to labor on the East Broadway stop in Manhattan.

According to the New York Daily News, Max and her wife left their Brooklyn home around 3p.m and rode on the train for Bellevue Hospital. “My wife started feeling pain while traveling so I informed the conductor and the conductor called to the station.” Max told.

After a while, Alfontent gave birth to a 6-pound baby who was named Soleil. Then, she and her baby transported to the hospital. Brown told the New York Daily News that Alfontent was quite overwhelmed after the delivery. “I told Alfontent that she had done a nice job .She was quite thankful and happy” Brown further added.

According to reports Alfontent and her baby are quite healthy and safe in New York’s Bellevue Hospital.

Researchers found possible link between ADHD and Kids’ weight

The risk of obesity is 50 percent higher in the children who have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and don’t take medication for that disorder, a new study suggests.

The researchers also found when children were medicated for ADHD, the risk of being underweight increased in them.

“The findings suggest that obesity and weight loss must be monitored in the children and adolescents with ADHD and ADD. Doctors can prevent the progress of childhood obesity, negative physical health and psychological consequences if they monitor weight standings of these kids.” the researches explained.

The results of the research are being published in the July issue of Pediatrics.
The researchers Molly E. Waring and Kate L. Lapane gathered data on around 63,000 kids and adolescents that were aged between 5 to 17 and the statistics were taken from the National Survey of Children’s Health for the period 2003-04.

The researchers noted that children who suffered ADHD but weren’t taking medication for the disorder had a 1.5 times higher risk of becoming obese if compared with children who didn’t suffer from disorder. While the children who were taking medication for the disease had a 1.6 times higher risk of becoming underweight.

However, the link between ADHD and weight is not convincing for some experts.
Dr. David L. Katz who is director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine says in this connection that we can expect that some ADHD children may be overweight as ADHD as well as childhood obesity are widespread.

Diabetes drugs should undergo more testing, FDA panel recommends

Diabetes drugs must go through longer studies to make it certain that they are free from unexpected heart risks; this has been recommended by a government panel. It may cost pharmaceutical companies millions but it is protective for the patients to avoid unexpected heart risks.

On Wednesday, with a 14-2 voting, the advisers of the Food and Drug Administration recommended that all new diabetes drugs must have undergone longer studies to make it certain that they didn’t boost cardiovascular problems risks.

The diabetes experts, cardiologists and statisticians opined for less than a year after the FDA was badly criticized regarding managing the issue of GlaxoSmithKline’s commonly used pill. The drug was recommended in 1999 but FDA didn’t warn about possible heart risks till last November.

Many members of the panel suggested that drug companies should start safety tests before submitting any drug to the FDA, and they also complete the studies after the availability of the drugs in the market. The testing would cost tens of millions of dollars to the drug manufactures and will take a time of five to seven years to complete.

According to Dr. Eric Felner who is a pediatric specialist at Emroy University School of Medicine, “If such amount of time is spent for testing, it will be certainly preventing some drugs that may prove better than the already available drugs.”

It is not essential for FDA to follow the advice of the panel but it often does. Almost 24 million Americans are the victim of Type 2 diabetes that can cause kidney failure, blindness and heart disease.

Shifting From Open To Robotic Prostatectomy

Institutional impact on number of pelvic lymph nodes retrieved during RALRP while using robotic and open prostatectomy.

Open pelvic lymph node surgery (PLND) remains the best choice in patients with transitional and high-risk prostate cancer undergoing radical retro-pubic prostatectomy (RRP). A group in Rhode Island has adopted robotic-assisted for radical prostatectomy. They wanted to conclude whether robot-assisted laparoscopic PLND yields equivalent numbers of lymph nodes in comparison with open PLND.

After the approval of IRB institute, the databases of open and robotic prostatectomy reviewed at this institution. Patients undergoing RALRP with robotic PLND over a period of one year and patients undergoing open radical prostatectomy with open PLND within the last 5 years were documented. The pathology reports of surgery were keenly examined again to decide the number of lymph nodes obtained from each surgery of PLND. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test.

Diets with low carbohydrates can work for obese diabetics

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) –Swedish researchers suggest that overweight patients with type 2 diabetes can control their weight and blood sugar for long time just by following a low-carbohydrate diet.

Food

Dr. Jorgen Vesti Nielsen told that there was a possibility to have a long-term success in treatment of some type 2 diabetic patients.

In this study, the carbohydrate intake of the patients was limited to 20 percent of their total calories and the most significant noted effect of this low-carb diet was the absence of hunger, Nielsen further added.

The decrease in food intake offers body to utilize its own stored fat as a fuel and it causes weight reduction, said Nielsen from Blekingesjukhuset diabetes clinic, in Karlshamn, Sweden.
